Horrible default video player

[Talk4Lig]

Hello guys,
Probably this question was answered a lot, but I didn't find it here so I'm gonna ask. Is there any chance that wp8 default video player gets updated? Or at least is there a way to skip video ahead 10 min without clicking the forward arrow button like crazy? It's really painfull, for example when I watch some video on some site, and it is for example 1 hour long, skipping is really pain in the a*s. Sorry for bad english, hope you will understand what I mean.

Would be nice also if you could change defaults like in windows. So you can use for example MolyPlayer as a default media opener (when it gets stream support, if it already doesnt have it, and when we get a file manager and all that).

Yes that would be really cool! But also pretty impossible, because wp is pretty much closed os, not as much as ios, but still more closed than Android. Windows phone developers are pretty weird, a lot od basic functions are still missing

It's leaning to paranoia. Yes, we want a secure OS, it is really cool not to worry about viruses or other flaws, and thank you Microsoft for trying to make it happen. But not at the cost of customatization. I feel almost like in chains when there is only one way I can do things, choice is always a good thing. I hope MS realises this and lets the grip a little loose.

Agree... The built in video player handles streaming REALLY bad, an update is much needed.

Well, we can only hope... Or I would contacted them if I knew where..
